An experiential workshop co-presented by Joanna Brook & Taylor Ellwood via Zoom online. We are available to teach this class for small groups and one on one. Please contact us to schedule the class. We also teach this class occasionally for students in general and you can join the wait list for the class by contacting us.

Anagrams. Runes. Enochian Script. Sigils. You likely have heard of these common magical ways of working with writing, and probably tried one or two. This is not that. We will lead you far beyond in our four week class on magical prose and poetry: The Practical Magic of Writing. 

Acclaimed indie occult author Taylor Ellwood and poet priestess Joanna Brook teach our favorite components of the personal experimental writing processes that have created profound magical results and transformed our lives. Learn these techniques from us and the power of writing will transform you too.

Many magical practitioners allow themselves to be intimidated by prose and poetry writing as a form of magical work for the following reasons:

• I’m not a trained writer or published author

• I’m not feeling creatively inspired

• I’m not a good speller

• I don’t know all the grammatical rules

• I’m too shy to share my writing with other people

If these kinds of concerns hold you back from creating a potent magical writing practice that gets consistent results, let us help you. 

We all have the potential within to get consistent results by infusing our magic with writing, or infusing our writing with magic. You don’t need to be a professional writer or published author. You don’t have to wait until inspiration strikes and you don’t need to know every grammatical rule. You also never have to share your writing, unless you want to. In the Practical Magic of Writing, you have the opportunity to learn methods that will surpass these limitations and turn your writing into a potent form of manifestation and communication.

In the Practical Magic of Writing, we share our experimental magical writing practices and show you how to apply them to your spiritual practice in order to get the following benefits:

• Create the ongoing story of your life through writing

• Connect with deities and spirits that can assist your writing

• Communicate with your beloved dead to get access to answers

• Discover the power of word choice and definitions

• Unlock the present and future through writing

• Set and manifest intentions and goals

• Change your habits and lifestyle

• and much more!

The magical activity of writing creates powerful change in your life when you learn how to harness and direct your writing for specific purposes. In this class you will learn:

• How to create hypersigil narratives that shape the story and experience of your life.

• How to bless and consecrate your writing tools for magical purposes.

• What deities and spirits to connect with around writing as a magical practice

• How to use automatic writing to communicate with your beloved dead and other spirits

• When to apply the power of definitions to your writing to create specific boundaries and limits that move a situation in your favor

• What resources to use to help you with choosing the right words to shape reality

• How to use divination tools and bibliomancy as magical prompts for writing

• Experimental writing practices such as cutup and numerical poetry to unlock magic from the written word

We developed these writing practices as components to be combined in many ways to create your own unique magical writing process. Applying these components to your own spiritual work will help you create a path of least resistance for your magic, shape reality through the written word, achieve closer communication with spirits, and write more frequently through magical means. 

If you dream of creating a magical practice around your writing, then this is the class for you. Our experiments and experience with writing will inspire you to create and apply that magical writing practice in your life, because it feels so good and enjoyable!

Testimonials

There is a definition that says a genius is a person who can see patterns in one field and project them into other fields.  Taylor fits that definition.  He has an amazing ability to take information from mundane subjects like business, science, psychology and more, and apply them in creative ways to his speciality — magick.  He does what others in his field haven’t even considered.  And, he teaches it!  And, very well!  He accepts you where you are, and gently guides you into sophisticated esoteric principles and practices that work!                                                                           
If you have an opportunity to read one, or more, of Taylor’s books, do so.  You will be rewarded.  If you have the chance to take a class he offers, you will benefit immensely.  And, if you are able to take a live class with him — don’t even think about it… Just enroll!  He is a gifted and ethical teacher.  He has a profound knowledge that he generously shares with his students, and in a way that makes sense to them.  More importantly, he speaks in their terms; He makes his teachings pragmatic and practical; And, he is very conscientious to make certain his students grasp what he is teaching! - Dale

I love learning from Taylor Ellwood whether from his books or his classes. He has a completely different background and magickal practice from me, so it is always fascinating. While our practices are quite different, what I learn is applicable and usablet. I recently took his Advanced Space/Time magic and really enjoyed the class. In there he talks about using "flow magick" rather than "will magick" and while I had never thought about things in those terms, it made complete sense to me. I have already. begun adding what I learned in this class to my daily practice. I highly recommend Taylor Ellwood as a teacher. — Crescent

I definitely gained a wider perspective on spirit work, especially on how our relationship with them can be more mutually beneficial rather than having it be just about "me, me, me." You both have given a lot of actionable info for me to apply in my spiritual practice. It was even richer with both Joanna and you teaching. I liked hearing your answers and insights as informed by your different experiences and different magickal backgrounds. — Frances

As a fan of Taylor's books since I first read the second edition of "Pop Culture Magick" in the late 2000's, I jumped at the opportunity to take a class taught by him on the Inner Alchemy of Wintering after being lead to do so by my guides. It was a greater decision than I could've imagined! I grew so much in only a few weeks and came out of it with many skills that I didn't even realize were missing in my magical arsenal. I also developed a connection to the energies of silence, stillness, and emptiness and learning to access these connections helped me in kicking a lot of bad habits that I was only partaking in to fill a void. I would recommend working with Taylor to a friend and would definitely take another class with him in the future! - Dark Arcana
